We asked them to outline the argument they made in their submission and to situate their work in relation to the field of environmental anthropology.<\/em><\/p>\n

ABSTRACT: <\/strong>This paper explores the role of storytelling in the making of scientific expertise in forest sciences in South Korea, a country once notorious for chronic deforestation until the 1970s due to the violence of local overuse, Japanese colonialism, and the Korean War, but now densely reforested. The paper focuses on how quotidian engagements with South Korean anthropogenic forests have given shape to specific forms of scientific narrativity. Either along or against the grain of scientific narrativity, forest scientists decenter the nationalist and statist narratives of \u201csuccessful\u201d forest regeneration in South Korea and inscribe the liveliness of trees, soils, and landscapes into their storytelling. Contrary to the dominant instrumentalist model of science storytelling, I suggest that scientific narrativity is not merely secondary or auxillary to scientific expertise but a constitutive element in the formation and distribution of knowledge claims about living forests. To better grasp such efforts, I develop the concept of \u201cscientific emplotment,\u201d drawing inspiration from Cheryl Mattingly\u2019s notion of \u201ctherapeutic emplotment\u201d and Veena Das\u2019s polysemic idea of \u201cplot.\u201d Grounded in my 36 months of fieldwork across research forests, labs, and conference rooms, I illustrate how forest scientists carefully select and arrange \u201cplots\u201d that serve as both physical-ecological<\/em> grounds<\/em> and narrative strategies<\/em> for articulating specific knowledge claims to differently situated stakeholders. Scientific emplotment captures how forest scientists stitch together the fragments of field research, historical residues, and ecological processes into compelling knowledge claims, while leaving room for the indeterminacy and plurality of scientific narratives about forests in a time of increasing ecological uncertainty.<\/p>\n

\n

On a chilly morning in early March 2020, I set out on a field trip with Professor Seo, a leading forest scientist in South Korea, and Sejun, a postdoctoral researcher from Southeast Asia (all pseudonyms). We were heading to an experimental site in Mt. Jiri, South Korea\u2019s first national park. As we drove from Seoul, we listened to Sejun\u2019s plans for writing and fieldwork over the year. Not entirely convinced by his response, Professor Seo referred to the \u201cpublish or perish\u201d academic job market and gently pushed him to publish more. I asked Professor Seo how junior scientists could write better and more in such competitive situations. Then he emphasized that scientific papers require \u201cgood stories,\u201d not just data. \u201cYoung researchers could extract data from experiments,\u201d he emphasized, \u201cbut often don\u2019t know how to weave them into meaningful narratives<\/em>. Therefore, I have to create stories for them<\/em>. That is what a professor is supposed to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was this moment when I first realized that I had largely disregarded what \u201cstories\u201d might mean for my interlocutors and their colleagues. Throughout my fieldwork (2017\u20132022) with forest scientists in South Korea, I came across numerous occasions where \u201cstories\u201d mattered in different yet interrelated ways. Engaging with these experiences closely, my Rappaport Prize paper suggests that storytelling may work not merely as a secondary or auxiliary feature of scientific expertise, but as a constitutive element in the production of knowledge and expertise among forest scientists in South Korea. To explore how scientific narrativity or storytelling emerges through everyday practices, this paper develops the concept of \u201cscientific emplotment\u201d to analyze how scientists weave together specific characters (tree species, human laborers, soils, etc.), settings (forest patches, experimental plots, etc.), and events (climate change, ecological processes, etc.) into what Professor Seo called \u201cmeaningful narratives\u201d in science and beyond. In other words, scientific emplotment integrates two meanings of \u201cplot,\u201d ground (soil) and storyline, where trees and scientific practices grow<\/em> together.<\/p>\n

In doing so, the paper revisits two dominant understandings of storytelling in science. First, it shifts away from what may be called an \u201cinstrumentalist\u201d model, which treats stories as tools for delivering scientific findings to non-specialists to increase the public awareness of today\u2019s critical issues. Second, it adds one more dimension to dominant approaches that treat science stories merely as post-facto<\/em> artifacts, constructed after scientific facts have been firmly established. Instead, I show how scientific emplotment is integral to knowledge production from the beginning, rather than simply in the middle or after the fact, shaping how scientists manage study plots, select focal species, conduct fieldwork and experiments, and interpret data, without being entirely subject to teleological storylines of forest futures or state-centric storylines of reforestation.<\/p>\n

The paper focuses on three key aspects of scientific emplotment in practice: (1) forest typology as a plotting device that enables comparison and scaling between small research plots and broader forest ecosystems; (2) species selection as a narrative strategy that foregrounds particular tree species as scientific \u201ccharacters\u201d while excluding or marginalizing others; and (3) research infrastructure and field practices that transform \u201csituations of life\u201d in forests into \u201csituations of science,\u201d to use historian of science Robert Kohler\u2019s term. To be more specific, scientists carefully select study plots in forests to represent broader forest ecosystems using various forest types, such as \u201cthe Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis<\/em>) plantation\u201d and \u201csecondary oak forests,\u201d despite ongoing debates about the usefulness and scientific validity of such types. Their research infrastructures\u2014living trees, ecological monitoring towers, a multitude of sensors, supporting equipment, and so on\u2014work as \u201cscientific stages\u201d where their scientific narratives grow with the ever-changing forests. Species selection also plays a critical role in scientific emplotment. Scientists deliberately choose significant native species, such as the Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora<\/em>), as the main characters in their storytelling. Such sieving processes in everyday life are not merely practical but also strategic, allowing them to craft compelling storylines with broader relevance to national concerns such as climate crises and forest regeneration. In various setting spanning labs, forests, experimental sites, conferences, and classrooms, acts of scientific emplotment took diverse and sophisticated forms in line with their research topics, methods, field conditions, audience, or even career stages.<\/p>\n

This paper grows from a chapter in my Ph.D. dissertation that examines the politics of anthropogenic forests in postcolonial South Korea. As a heavily mountainous country, South Korea presents an interesting case of forest transition after 1945, as it has transformed from a severely deforested landscape largely due to colonialism, the Korean War, and local extraction to a densely forested one. The dissertation examines how forest scientists have positioned themselves as critical architects of anthropogenic forest regeneration, while both inheriting and redressing the violent legacies of Japanese and U.S. imperialism in the shaping of postcolonial forest futures. Placed between other chapters that discuss larger histories of the discipline and chapter that explore local scenes, this chapter also reveals how scientists claim their expertise in ways that transcend dominant nationalist\/statist storylines of forest regeneration by foregrounding marginalized actors such as the pitch pine (Pinus rigida<\/em>) or soils, allowing them to make more grounded knowledge claims about Korean forests.<\/p>\n

My research is in conversation with growing interests in the politics of anthropogenic forests, ecological restoration, and tree planting in anthropology and the environmental humanities, while adding an ethnographic layer to the literature on storytelling in science and technology studies as well. By shedding light on scientific emplotment, a careful practice of both place and storyline, this Rappaport paper demonstrates how scientific and environmental expertise grows together with trees and soils in a time of ecological transition. The stories that forest scientists tell about forests across time cannot be severed from where they conduct their field research and from their nonhuman counterparts. In this way, I suggest, their narratives carry the seeds of alternative futures\u2014ones in which human-disturbed landscapes might still afford the possibility of resilience and growth in the face of climate uncertainties and environmental degradations.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
